so... uh a ipod touch?
No, an iPad touch.
[QUOTE=QuinnithXD;38063718]so... uh a ipod touch?[/QUOTE] I'm going to cringe at every single person posting this in the coming days. Do you call the nexus 7 some android phone's name?
Is it going to have a slighty larger screen and a 700+ price tag?

It's got a 3 inch bigger screen than the iPhone. Apple has been more ridiculous with their products each release of a new one.
[QUOTE=PieClock;38065309]I'm going to cringe at every single person posting this in the coming days. Do you call the nexus 7 some android phone's name?[/QUOTE] Yes, Nexus 7 is the 7'' nexus phone counterpart.
What's wrong the original iPad size? Too big too handle? I find that big screen has more advantage than a puny screen on an iPhone. What is apple thinking? Making a mini iPad is totally pointless.

Really fucking dumb. RIP Apple. Unless your execs stop pulling non-steve ideas out it's ass in the desperate bid to 'make a sale' when you don't even fucking need to.

guys stop saying RIP apple this'll break sales records and you know it

I'm confused to why people are slating this even though Android OEMs do the same thing and don't get grief. Samsung for example has their Tab 7, Tab 8.9, Tab 10.1, Galaxy Player 4.0, Galaxy Player 5.0, etc etc. It's just a more comfortable and transportable form factor. I think it will be a very nice device aesthetics wise and very ergonomic.

[QUOTE=JohnnyOnFlame;38083984]Yes, Nexus 7 is the 7'' nexus phone counterpart.[/QUOTE] Yet FP doesn't make a circlejerk over that when it's pretty much the same thing. There's big Android tablets, there's mid sized android tablets, and there's android phones. What is the difference between that and Apple expanding their market to support another size tier? [QUOTE=Kondor58;38086468]This post was made from an apple mac[/QUOTE] Sorry I didn't know there was a rule that doesn't allow people post from their laptops. Stupid posts like this just goes to show how narrow minded some of you actually are.

Call me ignorant, but does the iPad have any other defining features over the iPod Touch other than a larger screen?
[QUOTE=Dirf;38091040]Call me ignorant, but does the iPad have any other defining features over the iPod Touch other than a larger screen?[/QUOTE] 4G (well 3G), Vastly better battery life.
[QUOTE=Dirf;38091040]Call me ignorant, but does the iPad have any other defining features over the iPod Touch other than a larger screen?[/QUOTE] The large screen is the main feature and while it doesn't seem like much it allows for a bit more accessibility in areas where an iPod would lack. It allows for a much nicer spread out interface for a lot of apps, and it is better suited for stuff like browsing the web and watching video. An iPod would offer a bit more mobility, which is great for music on the go or utility apps. What this new tablet is probably going to attempt is getting the mid ground between mobility and usability for things like browsing the web.
[QUOTE=alien_guy;38091165]4G (well 3G), Vastly better battery life.[/QUOTE] I would not describe a 2 hour difference in battery life while awake as "vastly better".
[QUOTE=Joeyl10;38094654]I would not describe a 2 hour difference in battery life while awake as "vastly better".[/QUOTE] The whole case is full of one massive battery.

still don't see the use for tablets over laptops.
